Interior designer, Tasha Tyler, and I first bonded several years ago over a shared love of antiquing, thrifting and pretty much all things vintage. Tasha, who is affectionately nicknamed Granny Tash because of the long list of things she has in common with grandmothers everywhere, including a total love affair with vintage curiosities, is a retro-curating veteran. She’s been collecting and selling vintage treasures through various outlets for years, long before it was considered chic or “on trend”. And has recently opened her own smartly curated vintage home shop, Granny Tash.
I was so excited when I heard what Tasha was up to because I absolutely LOVE her style. I’d say it’s 2 parts mid-century to 1 part classic modern with a dash of quirk in there somewhere. Exhibit A: Her Instagram Account.
She’s got a discerning eye for spotting those diamond-in-the-rough, statement pieces that possess the effortless ability to add soul and a “collected over time” sensibility to your space. My favorite pieces in her shop are the Vintage Embroidered Pillow Covers. Colorful. Handmade. Heaven. (There’s only one set available, so make sure to snag them!)
And now for the fun part! As a way to spread the vintage love, Granny Tash and I are teaming up to give away $75 towards any item in Granny Tash’s Shop!

June 19, 2015 at 7:02 amOh boy….I must still be half asleep. I read the whole article thinking what a brilliant name for a vintage home shop; Granny Trash. Out of the ordinary but memorable and kind of right on the mark. Then I went to her site and realized my mistake. Lol! Now I definitely have to stop by.
